Where: Montreal
Focus: Later this year the annual conference of the
Association for Canadian Studies will explore diverse aspects of Canada’s collective memory. Questions posed in this context may include the following:

Où : Montréal
Focus : À l’occasion de sa conférence annuelle de 2004,
l’Association d’études canadiennes se propose d’examiner les différents aspects de la mémoire collective canadienne. Au programme, notons des questions telles que :
• Comment définit-on et décrit-on les événements importants qui ont marqué la société canadienne ? • Quels événements historiques serons-nous davantage
portés à retenir ?
• Est-ce que la reconstruction littéraire de l’histoire tend plutôt à contribuer ou à nuire à sa
compréhension et à son apprentissage ?
• Pourquoi certains individus et certaines institutions sont-ils plus aptes à faire appel à notre conscience collective du passé ?
• Comment et pourquoi notre perception des événements et des questions change-t-elle avec le temps ?
• Qu’est-ce qui incite les gens ou des groupes de gens à se comparer ou à s’identifier à certaines figures ou à certains événements historiques ?

Contact : James Ondrick : [email protected] Pacific Northwest Indian Treaties in National and International Historical Perspective
When: May 13 and 14, 2005
Where: University of Washington in Seattle
Focus: The conference will provide a forum for scholars in
several disciplines to discuss ongoing research and raise new questions about the significance of treaties between indige-nous peoples and colonial regimes. We invite proposals for papers and presentations falling into four general areas of inquiry: 1) the impacts of such treaties on the definitions or identities of groups, on people’s mobility, or on power rela-tions among various peoples; 2) issues arising from litigation and other legal processes concerning treaties or from contem-porary treaty negotiations, including tensions between the missions of scholars and litigators; 3) the meanings and uses of such treaties outside legal forums, including treaties as cultural symbols; 4) the possibilities and limitations of inter-national scholarly exchange regarding treaties and indigenous rights.
Deadline: August 1, 2004

Atlantic Canada Studies Conference When: 12-14 May 2005
Where: University of New Brunswick, Fredericton Focus: “Making Connections” is meant to be interpreted
broadly. Conference organizers are particularly interested in making connections across disciplines, across institutions, and across the region. To this end, we welcome proposals from researchers in disciplines other than history, in institu-tions other than universities (including archives, art galleries, museums, and parks - both public and private), and in research clusters working on public policy issues. We are especially interested in proposals that offer a comparative approach within and beyond Atlantic Canada. Proposals that do not fit the conference theme are, of course, always wel-come and will be included on the programme.
Deadline: 15 September 2004

First Nations, First Thoughts
Centre of Canadian Studies, University of Edinburgh When: Thursday 5 and Friday 6 May 2005
Where: Edinburgh
Focus: This interdisciplinary conference seeks to bring
together scholars to explore the lessons which might be drawn for other states and for international bodies (e.g. the Council of Europe and the European Union) from the consti-tutional management of cultural pluralism in Canada. Contemporary Canada is unique not only for the complexity of its ethnocultural relations but also for the level of debate in recent decades over how best to accommodate this diversi-ty within the constitution. Prominent issues within Canadian pluralism include: federalism; official bilingualism; the constitutional accommodation of Quebec; the status of aboriginal peoples; the entrenchment of cultural rights in the Charter of Rights and Dfreedoms, and the development of a sophisticated, juridical, human rights culture; and immigra-tion and the principle of multiculturalism.
